The Space Between Our Hearts
          ( on lost loves)

Here in this twilight calm
of gentle moonbeams
dancing on rooftops,
like a shadow that walks
these lonely evening streets,
I am the ghost moving in
a mirage within a dream,
seeking magic words,
the loveliest ever painted
on the grand-eternal
canvas of the ages or
written with the finest
'voice' of passion in the
immortal book of time …
words of the most perfect
rhythm, sound, and meaning
that could yet somehow make
me visible again and bridge the
chasmic space between our hearts.

     --- b. e. adams ('here' in the 'now' – 7/2016)

Very nice work, Bruce . . . You do have a lock-down on making your words count and bringing out their importance.

Warm, sensitive writing Bruce. I always feel good after reading your poetry. Like a warm tea near an open fire.

More feelings and fewer words please
